Brummies Lookout Track

Starting from Tyalgum Ridge Road, Mount Warning, this walk takes you to the Brummies Lookout via a fire trail and steps, exploring the woodland of Wollumbin National Park along the way. You’ll start by possibly passing through some private property which is basically a shed and a few lovely cows. Kindly ask the owners for passage, then start heading along the muddy wide trail which is generally used by dirt bikes. Expect to get some nice views of the Border Ranges as you make your way through the dense forest. Later on you’ll leave the trail and head along some steep steps. They may be rugged but the views you’ll get afterwards are almost guaranteed to stun you. Wollumbin National and the surrounding peaks are all yours to take in, with the satisfactory feeling of conquering this challenge on the side. Keep in mind that the track may be overgrown closer to the end. Cover your legs and arms as there may be snakes along the track. A decent level of fitness and sturdy hiking boots recommended. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
